What to know about the West Virginia numbers

  • Rebates not checked yet. We haven't checked heat pump rebates in West Virginia yet, so the numbers here leave them out. Utility and state programs can take thousands off a heat pump, so ask your utility and your contractor what's available.
  • Mostly average prices. Only 43% of West Virginia ZIP codes here are priced on a current utility tariff. The rest use the utility's average price from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which is about two years old and doesn't show tiers, so the winter price of extra kWh is estimated. Enter the rate from a recent bill for a closer answer.
  • Regional fuel prices. EIA doesn't publish a West Virginia price for every fuel: propane uses the regional average and heating oil uses the regional average. Enter your own price if you heat with it.
  • Older gas price. EIA's West Virginia residential gas price stops at May 2026. Enter your own price from a winter bill for a closer answer.
